    Summary

    Shane was fourteen the first time a number felt like safety.

    The nutritionist worked out of an office in Kanata, framed certificates, a calm voice, laminated charts with columns. She explained it simply: fuel in, output required, timing of each. She said it was a starting point.

    Shane took notes in the margins the way he took notes on everything—completely, past what was required. Yuna had found the nutritionist herself, sat beside him, and took notes too.

    Like mother, like son.

    -

    Or: Shane’s system works until it doesn’t; Ilya notices first.

    Summary

    Coming out as gay had been supposed to be the easy part.

    He wanted to date. He really did.

    Just… not people he knew.

    Which sounded weird, even inside his own head.

    But the truth was, Luca couldn’t remember ever looking at someone in his real life and feeling that spark people always talked about. That moment where attraction, which was already hard for him, shifted into something deeper. Something that made you want to lean closer instead of pulling away.

    or

    Luca doesn’t feel the spark. He never has. It’s not that he is incapable of loving. He loves so much and so fiercely. Just the romantic and sexual part of love can be… hard for him.

    Ilya and Shane don’t know anything about the worries that keep him up at night, but they took him in nonetheless, aware that he needs someone to look after him, while missing his family so much it’s killing him.

    Enter Elijah Young.

    (Summary changed on 16.3 cause the first one sucked.)

    Summary

    (Please, I’m begging you, note the Archive Warning and read the tags)

    You can do your best. You can love as hard as you can, keep each other safe, and work through difficult problems, but life is life. It’s as devastating as it is beautiful.

    For a beautiful love story, possibly a fix-it of The Long Game, read ch 1-24.

    For the full experience, read the whole thing.

    First canon divergence: Shane’s dad doesn’t need to borrow a charger while they’re at the cabin.

    Summary

    There’s no humor in Shane’s voice. It’s cold, hard, determined. “When we meet them on the ice next season, I want to fucking destroy them.”

    After a moment, he feels Ilya nod thoughtfully behind him.

    “Is good plan. Let’s fucking destroy them.”

    The Montreal Voyageurs won't stop slinging mud at Shane in the press, so Shane and Ilya decide to get revenge the best way they know how.
